2013 Porsche 911 Coupe

Benefits of Driving a 2013 Porsche 911 Coupe

In the world of high-end sports cars, the 911 is the most iconic choice, with 50 years of evolution under its belt. Though the design continues to change, the fundamentals are still in place

What's new for 2013?

Porsche redesigned its venerable 911 in 2012, evolving the car from the '997' generation to the '991' generation, beginning with the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and Carrera S models in both coupe and convertible form. This year sees the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S updated to the '991' platform, which means a restyled, mostly aluminum body and 3.9-inch increase in wheelbase over the outgoing model. The new all-wheel drive models are virtually identical in appearance to the 2-wheel drive models.
